A number of ordinary “sexual jokes” are based on the authority of the penis and the myth of “male” sexuality. This thesis is an attempt to capture the historical aspects of the “sexual jokes” and absolutization of the penis in Korean oral narratives. The narratives, despite their misogynistic views, are easily accepted as “universal” humor by people. The way sexual jokes permeate the cultural code of everyday life has to be analyzed. The tradition of sexual jokes is historical and different from the current of the times but is still maintained. The stories “A salt seller who cure a girl of a disease” and “A bride who pushes her bridegroom to have sex on their wedding night” contain sexual jokes about “sexual intercourse” and “sexual pleasure” as their key narrative points. These stories are about a stranger raping a virgin and a newly married couple having “sex for the first time.” Although the characters and relationships are different in each story, they provoke laughter through the exaggerated sexual abilities of the “male” character and the reaction of the “female” character, who are depicted in a way that highlights these abilities. The key common points in these stories—namely, the most “funny” parts—are based on the absolutized position of the penis and the mythical status of “male” sexuality. Note the scenes where a “female” character quietly pushes a “male” character to have sex in a heterosexual way and where the “female” character exaggerates her sexual pleasure in the subsequent sexual intercourse. At the heart of these scenes is the composition of a “starved” woman in terms of sexuality and a man who can satisfy her needs. The very reason a man can be in the superior position here is that he has a penis. And the “female” character’s problems arise because of her lack of a penis. There are two discourse strategies that the two stories use: first, to provoke laughter through the irony that a “girl” plainly expresses sexual desire and, second, to provoke laughter by mocking others from the viewpoint of the “male” character. These discourse strategies not only make these stories “sexual jokes” but also have the effect of naturalizing the ideas they contain. Thus, these stories are born out of a mythical belief in “male” sexuality defined through the symbolism of the penis, and they also serve as a discourse that strengthens the belief.
